Mayfield sprained his left shoulder during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams and will undergo an MRI on Monday, head coach Todd Bowles relayed after the game, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Mayfield was deemed doubtful to return at halftime and ruled out shortly thereafter. He seemed to initially injure his non-throwing shoulder on a 14-yard touchdown pass to Tez Johnson in the second quarter, and the injury worsened when Mayfield tried to throw the ball as far as he could on the final play of the first half. Along with that touchdown pass, Mayfield had two interceptions in Sunday's loss. Teddy Bridgewater played the second half Sunday and would get the start Nov. 30 against the Cardinals if Mayfield isn't available.

McLaughlin made his lone extra-point try in the Bucs' 34-7 loss to the Rams on Sunday night.

Tampa Bay got itself into a massive hole early in this one, and the Bucs were forced to go for it numerous times on fourth downs rather than taking field goals. McLaughlin was, of course, barely used due to the blowout nature of the contest. On the season, the veteran kicker is 20-for-24 on field goals and 21-for-22 on point-after tries.

Mevis converted both of his field-goal attempts and all four extra points in Los Angeles' 34-7 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday night.

It was Mevis' third straight game serving as the Rams' kicker, but he got his first attempt at a field goal against the Bucs, and Mevis was successful from 40 and 52 yards. Through three games, Mevis has made all 15 of his kicks, including 13 extra points. He's one of the premier fantasy kickers in this high-powered Los Angeles offense.

Stafford completed 25 of 35 pass attempts for 273 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-7 rout of the Buccaneers.

Stafford got back to his league-dominating ways after posting pedestrian passing numbers (by his lofty standards) in a win over the Seahawks last Sunday. The 37-year-old dissected Tampa Bay's 26th-ranked pass defense, ending Sunday Night Football with his sixth game throwing three or more touchdowns with no interceptions in 11 starts this season. Stafford is playing some of the best football of his career in his 16th season, throwing for 2,830 yards with an outstanding 30:2 TD:INT as the Rams prepare to visit the Panthers next Sunday.

Vele caught three of seven targets for 37 yards in the Saints' 24-10 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

With Brandin Cooks booted from the roster over the weekend following the trade of Rashid Shaheed at the deadline a couple weeks ago, Vele has taken over as the Saints' WR2 behind Chris Olave. His seven targets versus Atlanta tied for second on the team behind Olave's 13. Vele will need to show more of a ceiling in the box score before he can be trusted as a fantasy contributor.

Nacua corralled seven of 11 targets for 97 yards in Sunday's 34-7 rout of the Buccaneers.

Nacua finished the one-sided affair as the Rams' leading receiver on a team-high 11 targets, but he took a back seat to teammate Davante Adams in the scoring department after the latter cashed in a pair of Matthew Stafford's three touchdown strikes on Sunday Night Football. The 24-year-old Nacua has seen his elite production dip ever so slightly since Los Angeles' Week 8 bye after failing to crack 100 yards from scrimmage in all four appearances over that span. To put things into perspective, the BYU product had accomplished that feat four times in the six games predating the bye. Nacua is still on track to have an elite fantasy campaign, as he currently sits just 53 yards shy of a 1,000-yard receiving season in just 10 games played.

Dortch recorded six catches (on nine targets) for 53 yards and one touchdown, took two carries for minus-5 yards and returned five kickoffs for 127 yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jaguars.

After a mostly quiet first half of the campaign, Dortch has awakened over the last two games with No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison sidelined due to a bout of appendicitis. While position mate Michael Wilson has benefited most with back-to-back outings with 10-plus catches and 100 or more yards, Dortch has made his mark in the box score with a cumulative 12-119-2 line on 15 targets during that same span. Dortch wasn't doing much before a 39-yard catch-and-run for a TD in the middle of the third quarter, but it marked QB Jacoby Brissett's only scoring strike of Week 12. The Cardinals next take to the road against the Buccaneers next Sunday, and Dortch will continue to have an increased role if Harrison again is unavailable.

Washington secured five of seven targets for 71 yards and one touchdown in Jacksonville's overtime win over Arizona on Sunday.

Washington didn't see his first target of the game until deep into the second quarter, and he recorded all of his catches and yards after halftime. His seven targets ended up pacing Jacksonville's offense. Washington caught a nine-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to give the Jaguars a 24-21 lead with 3:47 to play in regulation. It's been a breakout 2025 season for Washington, who has already set career highs in targets (60), catches (35) and yards (421) with his three scores. Washington's fantasy appeal moving forward is largely tied to Brian Thomas' (ankle) availability.

Tillman secured one of three targets for five yards in Cleveland's win over Las Vegas on Sunday.

Tillman's three targets tied him with Jerry Jeudy and Dylan Sampson for second on the team behind Harold Fannin (six), but Tillman and Shedeur Sanders showed little on-field chemistry. After totaling seven catches for 74 yards and two touchdowns from Joe Flacco in the first two games of the season, Tillman has just 10 grabs for 100 scoreless yards in five appearances since, making him someone to avoid in fantasy lineups ahead of a Week 13 date with San Francisco.

Jeudy caught one of three targets for 39 yards and lost a fumble in Cleveland's win over Las Vegas on Sunday.

Jeudy's three targets from Shedeur Sanders tied for third on the team behind Harold Fannin's six. Jeudy secured just one of his three looks, and it went for a season-long 39-yard gain, but Jeudy lost a fumble at the end of the play after the ball was punched out from behind. The 2025 season has been a struggle for Jeudy, who has yet to hit 80 receiving yards in a game and has just one touchdown. Jeudy will face an injury-riddled leaky San Francisco defense in Week 13, but Cleveland's offense has been bad enough that Jeudy still isn't an exciting fantasy target in that matchup.
